***January Jellybeans***~ 35 BABY GIRLS & 23 BABY BOYS BORN ~***

Hey Ladies!!

Hope you are all good, how many of us are in 3rd tri now? It's crazy in there with so many labour posts! Eek!

Naomi, glad you and baby are ok, maybe you should start going down the stairs on your bum :haha: !
 
I'm in third tri today. Not been in the forums tho - I figure we'll all be in the third tri soon then we'll talk about labour and stuff together. No need to scare myself yet.
 
Lol! I generally stick to the nursery/craft threads as thats what I'm doing a lot of at the moment! Also find the information on changing bags/buggies/furniture helpful as well as what to pack in hospital bag. I like reading some of the labour stories but at the moment I can't really relate to all those trying to bring labour on, bouncing on birthing balls etc!
 
:hugs: jms! Total sympathy over the trapped nerve! Mine is driving me mad lol.

Millward - a lot of staff have joked that we should do a 'vicar of dibley style' live nativity this year lol. Funnily enough I'm not so keen lol. And I know what you mean about the chairs. I've started to sit on my big desk chair now and can just wheel it over to the tables where the kids are working. We've got an inset tomorrow so no kiddlywinks YAY!!! Lol. I do like my class although can't believe how small and immature they are. After a year training up a class its a shock to go back to the beginning again isn't it?!?! My parents do know as it would be hard to hide my bump now. I was thinking of confirming it at parents eve properly and reassuring them that the teacher lined up to take my place is fantastic and I trust him with the class totally.

Little Mrs - :hugs: to you too. I hate being observed, I always get so so nervous. Hope you start to feel better about it soon. In the meantime get some chocolate hehehe!

Naomi - glad to hear you and your jellybean are ok. I haven't fell over yet but the way my leg keeps giving out with the sciatica I feel it may happen anytime soon. Bet it was scary but its good that the MW reassured you and jellybean is kicking lots.

My little mr bean is laying in a very peculiar position and seems to be kicking downwards into my bum and *hmm hmm* foof area. Feels rather odd and the kicks are such that my tummy doesn't move, I can just feel downward pop like kicks. He's an active little fella at the minute!!

Love to everyone xxxx
 
Thank you everyone for all your lovely comments. :flower:

I have taken it easy today just to be on the safe side and everything seems to be fine. :)

Maybe thats a good idea hodbert! :haha:
 
Dont be scared about the births ladies :hugs: be positive its a great experience! Just keep calm xxx
 
Its been 7 years and about 2 months since I last experienced labour with DD. It was tough but all worth it. And I'd be willing to d it again for bubs. :kiss:
 
I agree dont listen to all the horror stories :hugs:
 
I told my DH last night that I don't know why I'm feeling nervous about a caesar this time round. I can remember shortly after my son's birth telling him how amazing the experience was and I can't wait to go through it again!

I love the 3rd trimester threads. I find myself more over there than in the 2nd tri. Like Hodbert, I also love looking at other's nurseries for inspiration and ideas. I'm loving doing mine!
 
I've noticed that the stories people tell me are getting a lot more positive now. Before about 20 wks they were all doom and gloom horror stories but now they're more along the lines of 'it's not as bad as you think it will be.' which is reassuring, I guess. I've been told it's all rather surreal- a bit like getting married- like it's happening to someone else. I can probably cope with that. Not that we've got much choice at this stage- lol.
 
LittleMrs - yes thats right, its very surreal and like its not you if you know what I mean. It usually starts ok and gets harder so its a gradual build up but believe me, yes it hurts but not as much as I had thought. But the pain is a good pain as each contraction you are close to meeting your gorgeous baby! :) Just keep calm and breathe, dont scream or shout, I would really say that is the best advice anyone can give you. And keep as active as possible to speed it up xx
 
Where is everyone today?? My sciatica is driving me mad. Went for a walk today in the woods and ended up hobbling by the end of it :( Was trying hard not to pull faces or shout everytime I got a twang down my bum! Grrr.

Hows everyone else?? I'm home alone tonight as the OH has gone out with a few of his mates xxx
 
Hello hello you beautiful blooming ladies! I hope you're all well :)

I am on here late tonight. Internet is playing up.. grrr.. Just been catching up on the gossip i've missed..

Naomi, I hope you're feeling better after your little fall :hugs: We have a stupid curved step at the bottom of our stairs and twice i've stepped onto the tiniest slither of stair and slipped. Luckily it is at the bottom and the wall and my knees have teamed up to stop me from going anywhere! Which is good for me but not so good for the knees!

Smiffy, I hope your sciatica clears up soon. I bet its getting on your nerves. (see what I did there... that was a poor attempt at a joke.. Sorry.. I know.. it was terrible :dohh:)

Blessed, I have to say that your picture makes me giggle, every time I see it! I love your expression! Brilliant!!

I popped over to 3rd tri for a peek.. and quickly popped out again! Scary stuff!! It makes it so much more real when you read the stories in there. I know its coming but I am loving 2nd tri so much i'm trying to stretch it out!!

Mind you, I know its real.. bean is really wriggly this week! She seems to have a thing for doing star jumps on my bladder!! And i'm sure she keeps pushing my belly button out. Cheeky little madam she is already!!

Take care ladies!!

OMG I have eaten so much junk over the last week, and I mean like loads :blush:

Hope everyone is well xx
 
Seems weird to hear you all freaking out about 3rd tri as I've been over there for 2 weeks now! :blush: We've been doing more work in nursery today, hung my homemade bunting and stuck the wall decals, it's all coming together :happydance: !! I tell you though, walking isn't fun at all anymore, even when its not very far at all! I can a pain in my hip that just hits me every now and again and I feel like I could fall over! That and I'm constantly short of breath, its all good fun! We've got friends and fmaily coming to visit over the next month so who knows what I'll be like when I'm sightseeing with them! :dohh:
 
Aww my friend had her baby girl tonight :) 1oz off 9 pounds and a 4 hour labour :cloud9:
